This Gray Hair Transformation Is Going Viral For a Heartwarming Reason

The concept of dying your hair gray well before you naturally start sprouting gray hair is nothing new. Celebrities like Hilary Duff and Nicole Richie are well acquainted with the look. However, one Russian woman's recent gray hair transformation is shocking Instagram.
gray hair transformation. With the help of the stylists at Ryabchik, a salon in Moscow, she took her highlighted blonde bob to a voluminous gray pixie. And her hair isn't just any gray now, it's a metallic silver of Guy Tang fantasies. The final result is totally stunning — I am living for her smize in her "before" picture and her confidence in the "after" picture.

We aren't those only ones. Ryabchik posted a side-by-side picture of the transformation on its Instagram, and it has received almost 650 comments. Most of them are in Russian, but we noticed a theme among the English comments. Because Ryabchik's client isn't exactly the same age as Duff and Richie, people were quick to talk about her new gray hair (and the obvious fact that hair transformations usually happen the other way around).

One Instagrammer who goes by tirafriden wrote, "Great cut. Bad color. Grey on [an] older woman makes her look like [a] grandma." Lucyhebl commented, "Makes her look older....." Ugh. Let's be real, folks: coloring your hair gray doesn't have an age limit. OK sure, maybe you should be at least 15, but that's primarily because of how intensive the actual makeover aspect will be. Beyond that, no one should stop you from wanting to look like a fierce silver fox. We echo the far-more-accurate comment that other Instagrammers repeatedly made regarding the gray hair look post: "🔥🔥🔥"
